Hardanger SAL #4

This is May. I loved stitching this, there's something so soothing and relaxing about Kloster blocks and the cut work. The needleweaving on the bars was the Uneven Weave, a new one for me but not hard. The fan stitch (the dark blue in between the needlewoven bars) was also new for me and my first attempt wasn't tight enough, so out it came.

This was another octagon block, so I added the corner fans and klosters to make it square, as I did with February's block.

Here they all are together. Just June to go and I'll be adding "sashing" between the blocks and turning it into a hanging. I can't get any decent photos of this work at all, my camera sees white and turns it blue!

Come and pin with me

I was a cardmaker for many years, but after I got married in April 2010 I decided I wanted to branch out. So far I've delved into the worlds of knitting, crochet, embroidery, cross stitch, sewing, jewellery making, felting,spinning, Hardanger, blackwork, candle making and most lately glass work. Hopefully there is more to come!
